Sink repair in Carsphairn without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Carsphairn
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- What kind of damage it is
